Highlights of the week in Primary 1

We asked the children what they have enjoyed most this week:

  • Going outside at break time and at lunch time.
  • Free play with our friends, including playing with the cars and building blocks.
  • We liked hearing the story of Little Red Riding Hood and making a fold-out picture to practise writing the r sound.
  • I liked reading books in the library corner and with the class.
  • I liked visiting our school library.
  • I liked learning the letter h because I like to learn. We drew a picture of Kipper and added some wool for his hair!
  • We met Biff and Chip from our reading books this week.
  • I liked playing maths games with the dice.

Food Webs



Following on from our work on Food Chains, we have been learning about Food Webs and how living organisms can be linked.  Here are some of our finished posters.  We have shown that we understand the terms Producer, Primary Consumer, Secondary Consumer and Energy Flow.

In PE, Charlie and most of the class enjoyed uni hock because you got to hit it really hard and use both sides of the stick.

Nearly half of the class enjoyed Art this week when we started to work on flowers using magazines.  Our class upcycling.
